complete verse (Isaiah 58:10)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 58:10:

  • Kupsabiny: “Give the people who are hungry something to eat,
    and help those who are suffering.
    Then again, I shall bless you so you shine where there is darkness,
    and your faces shall shine for others
    like the sun during daytime.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “If from your inner heart you give for those who do not get to eat,
    and if [you] supply [lit.: fulfill] the lack for someone to whom injustice has happened,
    your light will become like sunlight in a dark place,
    and even the time of midnight will like in the daytime.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “and if you (plur.) will-feed the ones who-are-hungry and will-give the poor ones their needs, salvation will-come to you (plur.) which will-give-light to your (plur.) dark situation as a noonday.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Give food to those who are hungry,
    and give to people who are afflicted/suffering the things that they need.
    Your doing that will be like a light that shines in the darkness;
    instead of doing evil to people , the good things that you do for them will be like sunshine at noontime.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
